Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a Water-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Manaphy has the unusual ability to breed despite being a Mythical Pokémon, although it can only be bred with Ditto due to being a gender-unknown Pokémon. Manaphy's offspring are Phione, which do not evolve into Manaphy.
Along with Phione, Manaphy is considered to be one of the Sea guardians.
Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
Biology
Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon with stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. It has a red gem on its chest and a yellow dot below the gem. Its onion-shaped head has a pair of long blue antennae, which have small spheres on the ends. Its irises are dark blue with yellow sclerae, and there are two yellow dots of "eyelash" markings extending from the eyes.
Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water. It is highly susceptible to its environment and swims long distances to return to its birthplace. Manaphy prefers to live deep underwater, on the cold seafloor. It has been known to visit the coastal waters of Hisui, occasionally with Phione following it. It is born with a special power that allows it to bond with any Pokémon. Manaphy can switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other using Heart Swap, one of its signature moves prior to Generation VII and in Generation VIII. One epithet for Manaphy is "Prince of the Sea". As as depicted in Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Manaphy is capable of learning and speaking the human language. Manaphy is capable of breeding Phione; despite their resemblance and familial links, the connection between the two is unknown at this point.
Manaphy and its counterpart Phione are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Take Heart.

Trivia
- Manaphy's English name was uncovered, alongside the English name of Sinnoh, within the internal data of Pokémon Ranger on November 2, 2006.
- Manaphy and Ditto are the only Pokémon that are able to breed and yet are unobtainable through breeding.
- Manaphy and Phione (if one counts Phione as Mythical) are the only Mythical Pokémon capable of producing Eggs in a Day Care or Nursery legitimately.
- Although normally gender unknown, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Manaphy is constantly referred to as a male.
- In Pokémon Ranger, it is also known as the "Prince of the Sea" in the British English versions of the game; however, it is referred to as the "Princess of the Sea" in American English versions.
- It is referred to as "a Pokémon known as the prince" in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, in a book in the Canalave Library.
- In the games, Manaphy is the only Pokémon whose Egg sprite is different than the standard sprite.
- Despite the fact that Eggs cannot be transferred via Poké Transfer, Manaphy's Egg is found in the coding of the Generation V games. Location data for Pokémon Ranger also exists in those games.
- Manaphy's Egg has a unique hatching animation in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl.
- In Pokémon Platinum, the player can register Manaphy as seen in the Pokédex by inspecting a book in Mr. Backlot's room at the Pokémon Mansion.
- Like the majority of Event Pokémon obtained through Mystery Gift, it was intended to be impossible to obtain a Shiny Manaphy. However, an oversight in Generation IV allows a Manaphy Egg to have a chance to hatch Shiny, but only if it was traded before hatching. This is because Shininess is dependent on the Trainer ID number and Secret ID number, and the game mistakenly attempts to prevent Shininess using the original game's ID numbers instead of the ID numbers of the game that it was traded to. This oversight was undone by the time Manaphy's Egg returned in Generation VIII. Shiny Manaphy that are hatched from a traded Egg can still pass Poké Transporter's legality check.
- Because breeding Manaphy with Ditto produces only Phione Eggs, there has yet to be an explanation on how Manaphy Eggs are produced.
Origin
Manaphy may be based on sea angels, tiny transparent ocean mollusks. The Manaphy Egg's design is similar to Turritopsis dohrnii.
Manaphy's trait of only being able to produce Phione as offspring may be inspired by eusociality, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring, or an example of a highly rare and unique mutation such as albinism or polydactyly.
Name origin
Manaphy may be a combination of mana (spiritual life force in Polynesian culture) and fay (fairy).
